occupational license taxes, insurance premium taxes, hotel-motel taxes, gaming admission
fees, and interest and penalties on these taxes. Total 2012 revenue

local jurisdictions located in East Baton Rouge Parish. The division collects sales and
use taxes for the City-Parish General Fund, Parish Sewer Improvements Fund, Parish Street
Improvements Fund, East Baton Rouge Parish School Board, East Baton Rouge Parish School
Board Educational Facilities Improvement District, Baker School District, the City of Baker, the City of
Zachary, Zachary School District, the City of Central, and the Central
Community School District.

The costs associated with sales and use tax collections are shared by
local taxing entities. Actual collection costs for 2012 were $4,281,563, or
